Locked out

I'm locked out of Facebook, due to a random set of corporate blockades. I've been traveling for weeks, and haven't been able to update or respond, except sporadically. And now I am home, after a none-too-pleasant drive from the airport, in pouring thunderstorms. Not a good thing for someone as night-blind as I am. But I was going to catch up, damn it. And suddenly the LDAP server does not like my configuration. Whatever. My email is on the fritz, as well, with every single blessed email be it received or sent providing the helpful message that the database can't be read, with subsequent consequences that I won't bore you with.

A bit of irony, that, since one observation I was going to make had to do with social media behind the firewall. I'm supposed to have access, since it's MY JOB, but no. This trip also featured lack of access to emails on my smart phone, so I've been in the dark, reading posts in response to my non-attributed quote this morning: "Everything has two handles, one by which it can be borne, and one by which it cannot." Friends have been bantying that about all day, and I can't even chime in! The rest of the quote follows: "If your brother sins against you, don't take hold of it by the wrong he did you but the fact that he's your brother. That's how it can be borne." I would have contributed to the conversation, but probably since I didn't, it went just fine anyway.

This rather lengthy post will find its way to you asynchronously whenever I get my access back on line. In the meantime, whatever you're wishing, may it be yours.
